davos
a bustling town that has a lot to offer
We stayed 3 nights and 2 days which was definitely not long enough. Give yourself a week here. There is honestly so much to do and see. Side note, we were here a week before the world economic forum so the town was buzzing!
As there are way too many mountains to conquer in two days, we split. both days by skiing one day in Davos Parsenn and the other Davos Jakobshorn. Davos Parsenn could easily be skied in a week, so one day was more or less rushing every run. We seriously lucked out with weather as we had perfect blue skies every day. The runs themselves are endless and each have their own personality. My personal favourite was trail 17 as it had spectacular views of the alps and finished in town, and best of all, took about 30 minutes to ski.
Our second day was spent skiing Davos Jakobshorn, which is the smaller of the two mountains. In fact, this was incredibly fun as the runs were shorter and faster. Good place to spend a day skiing and is much less crowder than Davos Parsenn.
Finally, we caught the Glacier Express here…. which is not to be missed! It runs between Zermatt and St. Moritz which is 7 hours… but you can hop on and off between here (we went from Andermatt to Davos). The ride itself super comfy but the views are truly, truly spectacular. See below for a snippet.

ski trail number 17
This run is epic. This is run number 17 in Davos Parsenn. The run has a couple options, with the longest taking around 30 mins to get to the bottom. Hella fun and very cruisy. Stunning views of the alps and you get to ski above the tree-line so the runs are nice and open!

Glorious skiing above the tree lines. Mostly intermediate runs that are short and fast. Super, super fun.
